I tuned a 1990 GS-70 on a concert stage last night. I initially thought it would be a pleasant experience - it wasn't. The pinblock was as mushy as a bowl of overcooked canned peas, and several treble strings in the capo section beat (on their very own, individually) like a wild banshee. I spent much more time than I had planned struggling to obtain clean unisons. I didn't have much luck in the treble. Are these typical characteristics of this new 7'5" $30K piano model? What, if anything, could be done to improve the situation? I guess my real question is: Is there a method or trick to tuning clean unisons among wild strings? Is it even possible? Thanks for the inputs!! John Piesik San Diego Chapter PTG JPIESIK@ARINC.COM
